now that Pein basically KO'd her, what do you think will happen to her? i personally don't think she's dead, i mean, Pein already got his point across and just thinking about Hinata being dead (right after she confessed her love for him) made Naruto transform into the demon fox. Will Naruto confront her after this? what do you think will happen to their "relationship" ?

Re: What will hinata do now?

The latest chapter shows Hinata sitting happily thanks to Sakura's medical ninjutsu skills. She'll be fine. She'll live. Whatever happens happens. Sakura knows and understands why Hinata did what she did and if Naruto ends up courting Hinata, it would be hilariously awkward.

Re: What will hinata do now?

I imagine typical love triangle drama. Perhaps Hinata and Naruto get really close and Sakura gets in the same old situation as Hinata was once in; harboring and hiding feelings for Naruto but too shy and afraid to express them. Sakura will probably let Hinata do whatever she wants, but she'll snap and express her own feelings for Naruto which will incite an epic cat fight between Sakura's super strength and Hinata's Gentle Fist.

Typical Shojo crap.

Of course, I don't think Kishimoto is a skilled enough writer to pull this off very well. The whole Naruto x Hinata subplot will likely be just ignored for more Sasuke-centric topics like Madara's schemes and Itachi's secret contingency plan involving Naruto [pertaining to the crow swallowing].

Well I believe that hinat will be able to get out of her shy stage and just finally tell naruto how she feels.

Re: What will hinata do now?

Innerhell's prediction looks pretty conclusive. It's a possible scenario, I guess. Though I'm not sure if this could happen. A fight betweent Sakura and Hinata ...
It will really be interesting to see what Kishimoto is going to do about this. Hopefully, it will be entertaining.

Re: What will hinata do now?

maybe it's just me, but i've never imagined Sakura going at it with Hinata over Naruto. Hasn't Sakura always known about Hinata's crush? I totally agree the Sasuke plot will definitely be pursued first, but it will be extremely interesting to see how Kishimoto handles this. Judging from the lack of romance in this shonen (the most being Sakura and Sasuke--if you can call that romance), i don't think it'll fit some girls' expectations. I say so far probably some kawaii dialog mixed with comedic relief.
